Catalogue Note
“These poker-faced creations are ‘characters in an ongoing drama’, but one plotted along intimate lines… Recent additions to his series of acid smiley-face paintings, created by stencilling scarves and bags against squiggly spraypainted backdrops are, he says, related to his time in a psychiatric hospital when he was 20" (Skye Sherwin, ‘Eddie Peake: Unequivocally Real’, Another Magazine, 8 October 2015, online).
